Sneakers of the Day: YSL Malibu Desert Sneaker

Most Read

Stefano Pilati's love for sneakers is well known. And while he's done collaborations with Puma, his best footwork has been those strictly in-house at Yves Saint Laurent. Fall proves to be no different: Pilati's signature subversion of traditional styles is applied to high-top basketball sneakers and chukka boots with extremely pleasant results. Especially the desert boot, pictured above. Its clean lines and slim silhouette are only heightened by the addition of those ankle tabs. They give a whole new (and very stylish) meaning to pulling yourself up by your bootstraps.
